Two terminated, translucent smoky quartz crystals with lustrous frosted faces are dramatically set in parallel on the artistic blocky contrasting pink feldspar crystal matrix plate. The large smoky is 5.1 cm and you can't tell the tip is cleaved in the frontal display view. Ex Kay Robertson Collection # 7588 and acquired at the Tucson Show in February, 1975.
